Original artwork description
“Waiting Angel”, composition no. 236, marks a deepening of the direction within The Book of Angels, where the figure no longer functions as representation, but as a medium for the manifestation of an intermediary energy. The angel is not a character here, but an unstable structure—a site of passage between two ontological registers: the human and the divine.
The human silhouette remains recognizable, yet it is fragmented, open, as if carrying within itself the imprint of an original rupture. This fracture is not destructive, but constitutive: the form points to the idea that the human being is “extracted” from a whole, retaining both the nostalgia and the tension of return. In this sense, the angel becomes a projection of this condition—not merely a messenger, but a mirror of an incomplete identity.
The work can be read as a meta-icon: it no longer offers a stable image of the sacred, but questions the very possibility of representing it. In place of a traditional, closed, and ordered icon, there emerges a surface in continuous becoming, where pictorial matter is subjected to processes of accumulation and dispersion.
This dimension is decisively supported by the construction of the image. The artist’s practice approaches that of a modeler: color is not simply applied, but built, pushed, and fragmented through an arsenal of unconventional tools—pieces of canvas of various sizes and textures, sticks, cardboard, and materials sourced from construction. This mode of intervention generates a dense, stratified surface in which painting acquires a particular “carnality,” as if the figure were shaped from affected matter rather than optically represented.
Color thus becomes inseparable from materiality. Areas of intense color function as energetic nodes, while eruptive whites suggest irruptions of a light that does not fully belong to the material plane. Light does not model the form in a classical sense, but traverses and destabilizes it, indicating the presence of an essence that exceeds corporeality.
The angel retains traces of both worlds: the structure of the human body, recognizable yet fragile, and light as a sign of divine origin. Between these two dimensions there is no reconciliation, but an active tension. “Waiting” thus becomes a state of suspension between matter and transcendence.
Overall, the work proposes a vision in which the angel is no longer merely an intermediary, but becomes the very space where the human and the divine coexist without fully merging—a presence that simultaneously carries the memory of origin and the impossibility of complete return.
